I am having them do this daily (and increasing the use of words they seem to need more repetitions of)... but as I wrap up the week of TPR, I feel that I need to do something with a grade attached to it before we move on... I am worried that by calling on individual students to perform one or two commands for a grade, I would be ratcheting up the pressure and setting them up for failure. I have quite a few kiddos who put a lot of pressure on themselves to begin with, and I can see them really crumbling (even if they knew the word). Do you do any type of quiz at the end of your TPR days?

One class was even able to start ordering each other around at the end of the 4th day!)... As I draw to the end of the 5 days, I realize (a) I need some sort of graded assessment and (b) some of my students are feeling overwhelmed at the quantity of words (we will have 30 words at the end of 5 classes). I am making an effort to repeat even more the words that most often give them pause... But I still sense some stress at the thought of a quiz. Do you have any advice/suggestions?

In a 50 minute period, I will divide up the time as follows: announcements (5 minutes), review of past words (5 minutes), introduction/preview of new words (5 minutes), TPR of new words (25 minutes), review of day&#39;s new words (5 minutes). This allows me to have 5 minutes leeway at the end.

Question - you mention doing this for the first 20-25 minutes of class. Will you work exclusively with those same vocabulary words in the rest of your class activities? What kinds of things are you doing for the rest of class time that week (aside from syllabus / class expectations)?

One question on step 10--how do you review the words outside of TPR? Thanks!<br /><br />ScottScott Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07213457271219260633noreply@blogger.com
